What this project is for
Albanian Ritual is an independent pantry project built by nextark.it, with all proceeds supporting the Ark of Next not-for-profit initiative. The work is to make a small southern Albanian pantry legible: what the product is, how it enters a home, what can be said about its origin, and what still needs proof.
Mountain tea is the beginning because its ritual is simple enough to travel intact. Gliko adds the guest plate. Honey, olive oil, and soap widen the house. When the story is clear, a product becomes easier to value without exaggerating it.
What we commit to
- Health benefits stated only where a real, named study supports them — cited, linked, and limits included

- No charge without a clear order total — product price, delivery, and payment method are shown before checkout is completed
- Corrections when a claim is incomplete, unsupported, or wrong
- A public source ledger that grows only with permission and evidence
